INSIDE OUTSIDE / INTERIOR EXTERIOR / PRIVATE PUBLIC

The theme has many faces, which nevertheless carry equal philosophical questions and implications, which can be investigated as separate or interrelated domains. The subject can be viewed from a close perspective, focusing on the relationship between the inside of objects, forms, products, installations, and their outer skins. A more abstract approach looks at the difference between appearances and inner meanings. On a larger scale, interior design and architecture are intricately linked. Does the outside image of a building reveal what is going on inside a building, does interior design follow the structures of the walls, the ceilings, the floors or does it formulate it’s own rules and conventions? Furthermore, the difference between private space and public space was once quite clear, but is increasingly blurred.
